Twenty words put D first and T third, and three vowels share the second box almost equally.
A and I take six words each and O takes five. E and U manage one apiece. That is nearly the whole page split three ways, with no branch worth chasing over the others.
E fills the fourth box in eight of the twenty, forty percent, which is the strongest single fact here. Assume it rather than test it.
DATED, DATER and DATES sit one vowel away from DOTED, DOTER and DOTES, the same endings hung on two mirrored stems.
DITTY and DOTTY do the same one step over, and both double the T. Four words on the page carry a repeat and most of them come from that shape.
So confirming the second letter separates the mirrored stems, and only then does the last box matter.
S closes five of the twenty, twenty five percent, with R on three. DITCH and DUTCH are the two words here that escape the pattern entirely, and either one is worth a guess for that reason alone.
They differ in a single box and both sit outside the mirrored stems, so either one tells you more than a DAT or DOT word would.
A chief or headman, also written datu. It sits in the A branch and is not a word you would guess unprompted.
Both are a four letter verb plus an S, and the stems differ only in the vowel. That mirroring runs through most of this page.
